I checked with a colleague who has also been having problems with WFW and 
Designer, and this was his comment:-

	The Micrographx Designer - WFW problem is all Designer's
	doing.  It has to do with the inclusion of text in the
	drawing.  If you copy the drawing to clipboard and try
	to display the clipboard in PIC format, then Clipboard,
	and usually Win3, hang.  Take the text out and the
	copy-paste works to WFW.  Apparently WFW gets the
	clipboard in PIC format and that is what causes WFW to
	hang.

	When I talked to Micrographx, they told me that 3.02
	solved this problem.  So who is right?

Good question, is the bug fixed with 3.02 or isn't it?
